Program

AAPT Registration

AAPT Registration was located on the 3rd floor in the Celestin Ballroom foyer (click here to view a map of the hotel). You must come to registration and pick-up your materials before attending any workshops, sessions or committee meetings.

Attire

Attire for the conference is casual and, of course, it never hurts to carry an umbrella. Meeting rooms can be chilly, so a sweater is recommended. Don’t forget to pack your most comfortable shoes since a lot of walking will be required.

Shuttle service is available to and from downtown New Orleans hotels, French Quarter, and the Convention Center, every day of the year (except from 2 AM - 3:30 AM), with vans departing approximately every 30 minutes.
